Fundraising

We'd like to thank each and every person who helps make this trip possible! For the last few years, over 50 different donors who supported individual students and contributed through GoFundMe Campaigns. Thank you to everyone who participated in school raffles, helped recycle cans and bottles at MASH, or made purchases through our Yankee Candle Fundraiser. Every donation helps ensure our students travel!

For the 2017 trip, we raised almost $1,800 through GoFundMe, over $200 from recycling cans and bottles, and collected over $800 through raffle events.

In 2018, those numbers grew! Using different GoFundMe campaigns nearly $3,800 was raised to support multiple students! We recycled 5,600 cans and bottles to raise $280! We raised an additional $1,000 through our different raffles at MASH events!

As we begin planning for our next trip, we have the following suggestions to help earn money now towards your trip:

Family and Friends Sponsors: Summers and the holidays are a great time to ask Family and Friends to sponsor students. In the past, a student collected nearly $400 at a Family Reunion asking with no one donating more than $10.

Dimes for Disney: Save your spare change! A 2-liter bottle of soda filled with dimes can be redeemed for almost $700.

Bottle Redemption: As a school, we have collected $300 in 5 months from returning water and soda bottles and cans. Start an at-home collection now, and better yet, as friends and neighbors to donate their bottles to you!

Participate in School Sponsored Events: We run a Yankee Candle Sale each fall. Students earn 40% back from their total sale that is applied to their trip!
